Vance Boelter, 57, was arrested last night in Minnesota after the largest manhunt in state history was executed following his reported attacks on two Democratic state lawmakers.
State Rep. Melissa Hortman and State Sen. John Hoffman were shot by Boelter, who was impersonating a police officer. Their spouses were also hit.
Hortman and her husband were killed in the attacks. Inside his fake cop car, police found ‘No Kings’ flyers and notebooks.

FEDS NOW SAY THERE IS NO MANIFESTO IN MINN. SHOOTINGS: “I‘ve seen nothing like a Unabomber manifesto in his writings.”
“He had many, many notebooks full of plans, lists of names, surveillance…”

NO manifesto was found despite initial reporting by the Star Tribune. What was found was an extensive kill list, with many annotations on how this man surveilled his targets.
